THE GOVERNORS HID 0UARRELED.
Carlyle draws picture, at once lu-
dicrous and sad, of body of peaceful
English peasants who are disciplined
and drilled and dressed in red and sent
away to Spain, and there placed oppo-
site to an equal number Of French peas
ants, also in uniform, and with guns in
their hands. At the word of command,
both parties fire, and thirty men on
either side fall dead; "and in place of
sixty brisk, useful craftsmen, the world
has sixty dead carcasses, which it must
bury and anew shed tears for. Had
these men any quarrel? Busy as the
devil is, not the smallest! They lived
far enough apart, were the entirest
strangers; nay, in so wide a universe
there was even unconsciously by COM
merce some mutual helpfulness be-
tween them. How then? Simpleton
Their Governors had fallen out; and
instead of shooting one another, had the
cunning to make these poor blockheads
shoot" Is not this, in nutshell, the
history of half the wars the world has
seen? The Governors have quarreled,
and the people have been made to be-
lieve the quarrel was their own; and is
there not the strongest reason for sup
posing that as education spreads, as
governments become more truly repre-
sentative of the people whom they gov
ern, and as the people come to under
stand more truly their real interests,
wars of this kind, at least, into which
kings lead their subjects blindfolded,
will no more be heard Of?

No aristocracy of the world is so ex-
elusive as that of Vienna. 1t seems to
have inherited the appalling loneliness
and isolation of the Hapsburgs The
English nobility admit ordinary mortals
to their presence if their character or in
tellectual ability entities them to a GER
tain distinction. 1t is so also in Ger
many and elsewhere, where a titled aris-
tocracy exists. 1t is not so in Vienna.

Mr.. Alma Tadema, most versatile of
artists, has added one more world to
those he has already conquered. He has
become his own architect, and NJ. Tissot S
house in st. Johns wood, which was
considered a gem in its way when the
French artist lived in it, has been trans
formed inside and out into something
quite marvellous to behold In the ex-
terror are bits of nearly all the styles of
all the ages, from the classic romantic
down to the latest Nineteenth century
development of art, or eccentric fashion
and fancy.
Inside, the medley is still more be-
wildering, but always harmonious. Mr.
Tadema was resolved that every nook
and corner of his new home should have
its picture, and each picture unlike its
fellow. One vista suggests Greece, an
other Rome, third the gorgeous and
mysterious east. The room designed fer
the special use of the artist wife will be
one of the prettiest interiors in London.
His own studio will also lie unique in
arrangement and decoration. and his
friends are already looking forward to
the enjoyment of his hospitality amid
surroundings that will enhance, if pos
sible, its well known grace and charm.

affair, made in one piece and open at the

WOman's Work in Early Times.

Prior to the American revolution every
colonial farm house and every black
smiths shop was mandatory. For
everything was literally manufactured;
that is, made by hand. The blacksmith
hammered out axes, hoes, spades, plow-
shears, scythes and nails. A tailoress
went from house to house to make up
the winter clothing, and was followed by
the shoemaker. The farmer prepared
the leather from skins which had laid in
the vat for a year, and his wife made
ready the cloth. Spinning wheels buzzed
from morning till night. Skeins of wooden
and linen yarn hung on the walls of
every house. Seated on the loom seat,
the best woman of the family piled shut
ties and treadles, weaving blankets,
sheets, table cloths, towels, bed curtains,
window curtains, flannels and cloth for
garments. Every woman in the house.
hold manufactured something. The aged
grandmother spun flax with the little
wheel; the youngest daughter carded
wool, and the oldest, if the men were
busy, hatcheled flax. 1t was hand work
that did it, and every hand did what it
could best do. The women, whose
"work was never done, ;" not only carded,
spun and wove, but they MIXED the cows,
made butter, bread and cheese, soap and
candles, cooked the food, did the wash
ing, and in harvest raked hay, pulled
flax and dug potatoes. The neighbor
who happened in for an afternoons gos-
sip brought her work. The mother
patched or knitted as she rested by the
tireside, or quartered apples for the
children to "string" and hang in the
morning in festoons on the sunny out
side walls. All were busy, always busy.
